In pea plants, the tall phenotype is dominant to the dwarf phenotype. If a heterozygous pea plant is crossed with a homozygous t

Answer: The probability of having an offspring that is dwarf in size is zero.

Explanation: Since tall phenotype is dominant to dwarf phenotype, let T represent allele for tall and t represent allele for dwarf. A heterozygous pea plant will have Tt genotype while a homozygous tall pea plant will have a TT genotype. A cross between them will produce two homozygous tall pea plants (TT) and two heterozygous tall pea plant (Tt). They will not have any offspring having a dwarf size. Therefore, the probability of having a dwarf offspring is zero.

Zielflug [23.3K]
Waves erode a beach by pressing continually against them, right? I have heard of this happening many times. What the people do is build a small trench around the outside of the beach so the waves filter down into it, then back out instead of washing up against the sand. The other thing they do is wait a couple years for the beach to go down, then they put in new sand during the winter.

How closely do Mendel insights into dominant and recessives traits match up with the ratios that punnett calculated in his Punne
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Perfectly in theory, except there is chance involved

Explanation:

The Punnet square is a diagram that allows scientists to predict the possible outcomes of the offspring when the genotypes of the parents are known. This is in line with Mendel's principles, and from a theoretical point of view would match up perfectly. However, it all works based on <em>probability</em>.

However, inheritance is always down to chance. Of your parents 2 alleles, you always have 50:50 chance of inheriting one of the allele. Overall, this is what is predicted in punnet squares.

However, think about flipping a coin. There is always 50:50 chance of getting heads, but that doesn't mean it is impossible to flip a coin and get tails 10 x in a row. It is just less likely. So in reality, observations might deviate from the theory.
